Question

I need help, im not understanding exactly how organic compounds are related to nucleotides.
Describe the relationship between organic compounds, nucleotides, RNA, and a universal genetic code. :)

Answer 1

Organic compounds are a very wide variety of molecules. A holistic definition for 'organic molecule' would be all the compounds that are made by living organisms, but are not otherwise found in nature.

Answer 2

As such nucleotides are a very specific type of organic molecule, which the organism makes from less specialised precursor organic molecules such as sugars, phosphate groups, etc.

Hope that is helpful. :)

Answer 3

Yes..thank you so much :)
